editor at antiwar dot com sir thanks for taking the time to speak with us now when you look at the discourse coming out in the press about this confirmation hearing i mean it really feels like obama's counterterrorism policies are more on trial here than the actual. confirmation now the question is why is this happening now why are we now looking into these controversial tactics such as drone strikes targeted killings interrogation methods why now. well the nomination of john brennan to be director of the central intelligence agency has brought these issues to a head and furthermore this week you know there was a leaked memo from the justice department that detailed you the executive branch's legal rationale for killing americans in targeted assassinations without due process or any checks or balances or transparency on that power to do so you know brennan when it comes down to it when you boil it down he's he's really represents two of the most controversial. war on terror national security policies that the government has had the first is the torture program during the bush administration.
